Chuffed to bits with this. All just feels like things are dropping into place nicely at long last. Derby County, League One Champions... Has a nice ring to it, I reckon.
Thank you Mr Clowes. I'm doffing my cap as I write, you're an absolute star!

I like this a lot even if Collo hadn’t got injured I would have been pleased with this signing 
A goalscorer and more importantly a different type of striker …I really wanted us to sign him when he left Newcastle as I’ve always thought he’s a threat 
well done DCFC getting this done 👍🏻 

I’ve watched the game back in full again and have somewhat changed my mind about things. At the time i thought the team selection was dire and the first half was far from a classic. But looking back now u can see that it really was a battle of attrition and that during that first half it was essential that we just dug in, held our own and gave us good as we got. Which we did and great credit to the lads for that 👏
It’s amazing sometimes how, when the pressure is off and the passion has died down, one can see the game more clearly . That was the case with this one for me. 
i came away so proud of the team and can better appreciate what PW did and why. At the time i really didn’t see how much we were pushing after the Smith substitution. So, credit to PW and the fans (who were brilliant).

He is exactly what we have needed for a considerable length of time. Interviews very well too. What a guy. The impact his presence is having on Bird is also very noticeable. As a team they stood up yesterday and I think Stevenage were a little surprised by how strong we were. Long may it continue. Ebooooooooooo

The one thing I won't fault with this squad is effort. 
Tactically I'm not a fan a lot of the time, but I won't be questioning their effort.

Told you... 

He was bouncing with a massive grin on his face as I left the stadium. 
Looks like a proper Ram.
Best loanee since George Thorne. 

Fingers crossed we can get him. At least he’s got the experience of where to be and the know how of being an actual out and out striker. Nervous other clubs are interested as you never know with DCFC and the EFL at the minute. Really hope we can get him in 🤞🏻 🙏🏻 

Get in you beauty...

Awful game, good finish,  need a striker in ASAP if were keeping an auto place as other opposition won't be as toothless up top. 

Excellent. A vital 3 points. For me it's a win despite of rather than because of the manager, but at least we got over the line. Sibley should have been on the field 81 minutes earlier, but at least he was finally brought on with a whole 9 minutes to score the goal. Come on you Rams!

Move mountains to sign Adam’s. What a class player

Sat there watching the match last night and I thought Ebou might very quickly become my favourite Derby County player of all time and then I suddenly told myself not to get carried away, I come on here and it's clear my thoughts are quite rational and reserved compared to other fans. 
In all seriousness, a midfielder that can run and tackle is something we've missed for soooooo long. 
 

Lovely bit if determination considering he's only here on loan. 
Hopefully there is a chance we can bring him in on a permanent in the summer, I've been impressed with the little bit I've seen of him.
 

That game was Warne all over - poor disjointed first half and go ahead in the second with one moment of quality.
Sit back and try to hold on then acted shocked that we don’t.
Why don’t we ever push on and try to score more rather than sitting back ?! Why not take advantage of the twelfth man ? Look how much the crowd get behind you when we do attack ? Why can’t Warne see this ?
People will scoff but his tactics are woeful.
 

Apparently a lot of fans weren't bothered when we didn't sign a striker and are happy for us to put Barks up there.  A player that couldn't hit a barn door.  
Cannot believe that a team that look so devoid of ideas going forward can get promoted.  Been a season completely lacking in entertainment or excitement for me.   Was more enjoyable last season and I never thought I'd be saying that.

I’d be looking at Tom Bayliss for the summer. Free transfer, tidy midfielder, will be 25, Derby fan. 

Will he be available to buy? If he carries on like he did yesterday he may be a fan favourite. 

Good character 

This ^. Problem is Sonney has the image of the villain & not the victim so the Lilly-livered Walter Softeys who most refs are these days will never give the foul. 

The problem however we set upm was always a midfield lacking in bite or the ability to do the gritty stuff properly. 
Bird and Hourihane are just not those types of player and need someone in there doing the 'grunt work' to be at their best. 
They had that yesterday and we immediately looked more solid across the pitch.
Whatever formation we play having round pegs in round holes is crucial for it to work.

I think he did well enough yesterday, as he has done most of the games he’s been involved in the last few months. One heart in mouth moment as the ball deflected off his heel just wide of our goal, I thought I’d jinxed him by asking pre match when his last gaff was.
My only criticism is he either gets unnecessarily involved in wrestling during attacking set pieces (or is genuinely being fouled but not getting the decision 🤔).
Does make for pretty epic pics though! 

I thought he was outstanding today alongsude Nelson and Cashin, it looked a solid back 3, well done to all 3.
